Simple Delights to Satisfy your SOUL

New Year New YOU :)

2011-12-30T07:13:00.000-05:00

Well another new year is upon us. I know we all think of resolutions to make, but only to break in a few weeks, so for my "new year new you" is going to be to concentrate on me, loving myself for all the imperfections that can turn out to be some great qualities.

After all we are all imperfect and i feel we should not dwell on these things, so lets have a great year and turn them around.

It seems to be when you look at all your imperfections it just brings in negativity.Do we really need to be negative in a world full of negative people?

Are you falling into that pit of what others tend to say?

Are you believing them?

Are you putting yourself down?

Did you used to have a burning passion?

Did someone or something put out that flame?

Well now is the time to step it up and begin feeling good about yourself, after all we are all different and unique and we should be embracing all our differences not putting them down.

Everyone has a different view of life, fun, laughter, what they see from their own eyes, the beauty is different for each one of us. so enjoy it!

We ALL have different goals, dreams, sense of humor, so embrace your talents and do not look at them as failures! When we stop looking at things this way many opportunities are just waiting for you to take hold and make it work, so when that door opens take a leap and see what you can make of it.

Are you afraid to take a step?

Are you afraid of failure?

Are you afraid of what others will think?

Are you lacking in the confidence area?

Well as each day brings a new sunrise and a new moon we should look at ourselves in this way, a new time to become more confident in ourselves!

Do you stress over simple things?

Do you say "oh i could never accomplish that?"

Do you have fear of trying something new?

Do you tend not to see the little things life is offering you?

Do you stay in your own little box and not step outside of the lines?

Embrace life to the fullest, make it fun, play in the rain, be goofy, after all we can make our life a fun responsible way to live. Remember the little joys of things we did as kids? Well take a look back at all the fun things you did, the little jokes, the games you played, why not bring out a board game and play with people. After all in order to not become depressed is to have fun, so call someone , spend a bit of time revisiting old fun things, bring new & old traditions back into your life.

So start the new year off with a bang, LOVE YOU for YOU :) If you are feeling like some of the questions i have listed, answer them, and reflect on how to make it better, you need to take care of you before you can fully take care of someone or something else in your life.

As for me, i ask myself these questions all the time, and i do fall into that horrid pit! BUT no more, this is the year of new beginnings and great things to come to all of us. Sometimes we get stuck in that box, but hey it is cardboard so go ahead and and start cutting out a window, then the door and take a leap outside, color it with all your love and passion and let everyone see how you are blossoming this year!! EMBRACE you!!!! LOVE you!!!! surround yourself with people who LOVE you for YOU!!!!!

Many hugs sprinkled upon you in your new loving year of your 1st step for you!

Now here is a few pictures of a wonderful happy baby, my grandbabe Jake, everyday he wakes up happy, ready for a new beginning, a new day of learning, a new day of laughter, a new day of being loved immensely, babies have no idea what happened yesterday and they know who truly loves them. They trust with all their heart & soul for them to be taken care of with love , respect, being safe, and they feel the joys of every day. They are dependent on family. So take a step back and view some things from a child's eyes, learn again how to be joyful for the simple things of life :)

Jake & me,

my grandma name is Ginnie,

this was taken

December 26th ,2011

This is how Jake wakes up, he didn't even have his breakfast yet!!

happy boy he is :)

This is Christmas morning

Yeaaaa i have a new crib toy with a mirror!!

he was sooo happy to see this,

i guess he thinks

"now i will have someone to talk to when i wake"....lolol

This is Jake with his great, great, grandfather. He spent the whole time loving Jake and giving him kisses and telling him all about things he did and told us to keep telling him stuff so he will know all about his great, great grandfather. It was so priceless and brought joy to your heart to see such love happening here between them both. Jake was so comfortable in his arms that he actually fell asleep while playing with a toy while being held. Babies know who love them !! they feel it in their little bodies :)

So everyone, embrace YOUR life, make it a good one, make it special, make it something you will remember, make positive changes, and remember everyday is a new day to be explored!!!!

MANY hugs to all and sprinkling some glittering rainbow dust of love to you all!!!

I will be bring some new creations to this event :)

So if anyone is in the area stop over to my booth and say Hi :) would love to meet you !!!

pop over to my shop of happiness and browse thru all my goodies

http://www.LipSmackinCreations.etsy.com

These are 2 of the most SCRUMPTIOUS

cups of warm goodness.

These are my "Bundles of Love" a few to choose from, all ready to give to someone special and the best part is... i will donate money to a food famine charity when each of these bundles are purchased :) Set up by the wonderful group of Team MadCap.

And now for the Pet Lovers out there, I have make your own treats! They are yummy and I sell out completely when I do shows. I take almost 36 boxes of this mix, & the ones who bought at the last year show were so excited to see them back. They would buy 5 boxes!! These are super simple to make and your Fur Baby will absolutely be drooling for more!

These are a Holiday seasonal item. Who would love to have these sitting around. They are festive, yummy, and such a special treat for Santa :)

When my kids were small we told them Santa needs a cuppa coffee to go with his cookies, so we would set a pot of fresh coffee and cookies out before going to bed. It was a few years I got away with this till one day my daughter said" mom I think your Santa because everyone says Santa like milk & cookies" & I told her no he drinks coffee!..". lolololol so that's how she figured out the no Santa... heeheeee , but heck I needed the coffee, I was always doing the shopping & wrapping on Christmas eve!! It was so fun!!.

Now that all my children are all grown and we have a new grandbaby to carry on all the fun family traditions with. Grandbabe Jake already loves sitting in front of the lighted tree playing with me. I used to do this with my mommom so now i can pass on the relaxation and peace of the holiday season and instill in the next generation that its all about family not what you want or what you get, but a time of being peaceful and learning to enjoy and cherish memories & stories of past, present & future days to come. He will be just 5 1/2 months old but never to little to start to instill the good & peace of the holidays :)

2011-11-30T04:49:00.002-05:00

this week it is time to get busy and update my dear sweet blog :) i finally have a lap top and now i am off to catch up on everything . so stay tuned for some new things popping up :)
huggs to alll :)

You have no electric!!!!! well then......

2011-08-29T09:10:00.001-04:00

CALL ME CRAZY!!!!!! but i love the fact that every now and them we lose electric. I feel a sense of calmness, peace, back to nature, no rushing around, no chaos, no blaring TVs, i will say i miss the music, but that is short missed when i get into the simple pace. Yes no electric means not having the "conveniences of the world" BUT when you know there is a possibility of yours going out, you prepare with simplicity and it shall be fun , in my opinion :)

So this is my prep that i put up on my Face Book Page:

Southern/ Ghetto way to prepare for no electric :) the Kimmi way :)

by Kimberly Fisher Kramer on Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 9:53am

so NOT the flylady way :( but gotta make the best of it, :) we never have flashlights, in all these years, so off to find more candles, i have a basket of crappy ones i keep for emergency :)

prepares for storm list:
* flashlight - nope
*1 gal h2o per person- nope
*meds- dogs & mine yeppers!!!
*gas grill-yepps
*frozen the food so when it thaws cookout :)
**candles -yess
**games- yesss
*tub of water ........
tried but it wont stay in the tub, must be a leaky plug, hahahah , BUT i can put a bucket outside and get water, need to find bucket now..... and there better not be a hole in it or I'll be singing "there's a hole in my bucket dear Liza, dear Liza, then fix it dear Henry , dear Henry" , i crack myself up sometimes!!! LOLOLOLOL
I am so ready to pretend to be Amish lolololol be safe everyone,:)
thinking we should do the fire pit this afternoon and cook up some left over chicken sausages with spices and dried tomatoes, best sausage ever!!! and then we wont have to worry about it going out , the rain will take care of it :)

Now with all that being said, i wanted and asked everyone to play games : nope, hubs was worried about the trees, limbs, no electric, saying this sux , yada yada yada....... well I have hot coffee, sitting in woman cave, a.k.a sun room, and my lovely phone that no one saw the importance of till the outage!! hahahahha . Hubs said , sooo what can that thing do, i kindly replied, "what do you want it to do?" he said the weather, i said yep, it can do anything.... YEA for my phone going from "not being important to needed" luv my little cell phone :) So he was on there checking out the weather, even his FB , LOLOLOLOL.

So now back to the story, during all this prep and what we were going to cook on grill ect... i had a memory of the flood we had when we lived in MD in the early 2000, and no electric for 3-4 days and i tried to cook steak -ums on the grill, i will say NEVER do this,i even had it in a baking dish, covered with foil, the next thing was the grill had flames blasting all out of it!!!! so that was my last experience with a gas grill. Then when we lived in Pequea Pa, we would get flooded out alot and relied on the gas grill because once again no electric, well the one time we were cooking food in the house and wham there it went , everything off, so no problem grillin time, well 1./2 way thru the gas ran out.......we were truly stuck water 4 foot almost up to porch from the Conestoga flooding we had telephone poles floating by, huge trees, lawn furniture ect.... not exaggerating, some day i will find the picture and post them.So i had to make the comment that i hope we don't run out of gas like in Pequea.........
SO i wanted some of my Triple Dare Chocolate Cake:

http://www.LipSmackinCreations.etsy.com
yummmmmyyy right... my thoughts too, well i thought about it and came up with this, a water bath and cupcakes can be done on the grill!!! they thought i was super crazy, and saying it will never happen , it wont work so here is the process i used by WHAT i had on hand!!!

this is my "make shift water bath" larger cookie sheet has water in it , flipped over smaller sheet to fit and make a place for the cups to sit on with out getting wet .

So here they are ready to have a nice foil tent over them, don't they look yummy:) chocolate, and more chocolate yummmmmm :)

Now here they are all covered lovingly and ready for the GRILL!!!! YEPPPEERRRSSS i did say grill. Now at this whole process the peanut gallery is saying "its not gonna work, your crazy, your nuts, cant believe your even trying this", well i was saying the opposite!! It is gonna work & if it doesn't "oh well at least i tried!" Now this is what my creative brain does to me,
The Southern / Ghetto" way is what i call it.
I draw upon my life's experiences, and try things, i have the out look of "anything is worth a try, if you don't try how will you know how to succeed!! :)

Well now i get the crazy looks from everyone as i am ready to pop these babies on the grill along with our lunch, well my hubs, being a follow by the book, its not gonna work in the grill,well guess what the grill was on for 10 minutes and IT RAN OUT OF GAS!!!!! hahhahahahahhaha i just had to laugh, no one else thought it was funny, but i thought of memories,and ironic how it happened again.. SO now hubs is calling people to see who is open, who has gas, ect.. so there sits out lunch and dessert on grill for 15 minutes just hanging out.

So now we are back in business gas is on grilling and i am tryin to chillin with it all and then the this happens....

Hubs kept lifting the foil, saying there gonna burn, your gonna ruin your pans....ect.... I was thinking well, pans are from the dollar tree, oh well, and if it burns oh well, ...... ,So now he pulls off our lunch , we are eating it, cup cakes still on grill .

Now comes his

neurotic tendencies

check the temp,what is it at,are they burning, gas grills cook differently.....ect.........my theory is this and i said "i don't want to have to check it ever 2 minutes, or worry about the temp. I want people to know if they don't have electric and want something that is traditionally baked in oven, they can do it on a grill. My goodies are to be simple, but with that BANG of GOURMET!!!

So how do you think they turned out???? well let me show you, now keep in mind i made 2 dozen plus a square size cake, the caked before baking drizzled globs of caramel topping on top of batter:)

Well here is the experiment and the faces of the naysayers were priceless!!!!!

Fresh off the GRILL :)

fresh off grill & ripped into with the amazing aroma of all the yummmy smells of chocolate :=}
just look at the delicate, creamy ,moist texture, of my Triple dare, and i guess the name fits since i was in a way "DARED" so to speak that it would never work!!! they didn't even burn!! they did what they were supposed to!! yeaaaa;)
their faces were priceless, they had no words, YES i ROCKED it hillbilly style in my flannel, jeans, hair up, but with my southern/ ghetto sweets of making due with what you have :) i am sooo proud of myself, now here is a picture of cake before being cooked,

now after it was cooked they dove in it so the picture, well there is none, but yess it was amazing!!!! just like they were done in the oven!!
Enjoy these last few pictures, I had caramel & chocolate ice cream topping to drizzle on and even made whipped topping old skool way, (put all ingredients in a container with lid and shook the heck out of it) I think i rocked the storm out!!
Later on in the day, my daughter and i ended up playing a few games of rummy, dishes done Little House on the Prairie style, with buckets of water, and a sweet peaceful day for mee!! :)

SWEET SUCCESS
so don't let things or circumstances stand in your way. A little bit of thinking outside the box and being creative, even if no one is on your side, take the leap and try!!! You will never know unless you try it :)
one final thing was said to me was this:
"you are a real hillbilly, flannel and cupcakes on the grill"
LOLOLOLOLOL
loved the challenge of this and they loved the out come, now remember i told you i made 2 dozen which is 24, well there is 2 left, this morning, and the 9x9 pan was 1/2 gone last night, haven't checked it out this morning , but it tells me they were yummy!!!!
SO this is my adventure during the storm!!!!!
never let a storm hold you back, go with the wind and rain and make something special out of it.
Oh one last thing i had no candle holders so this is what i used ...:)

Mason jars rock it out for ANYTHING!!!!!!
Hoped you enjoy the blog as much as i enjoyed "The Challenge"
heehehheeheheee
In my happy, bubbly, mind i won the competition :)

What is a Reflection......

2011-06-25T20:17:00.000-04:00

We have had a lot going on and in 3 small weeks the lovely grand babe Jake will make his arrival!! we are all so excited for this next adventure that life holds for us :D SO will definitely having a blog coming up on Baby Jake :)

This blog post is going to be short, sweet and a thinker. :D i wish i had pictures to post with it , but not this time.

Now off to REFLECTIONS.... we all know that they can be anywhere. We catch a glimpse of ourselves passing by a window, car mirror, ponds, video cameras, pictures, mirrors ,even a shiny toaster, a spoon almost ,anything can capture a reflection.
My questions are these :

WHO do you see when you think of your reflection?

WHAT do you see when you think of your reflection?

WHERE was your aha moment regarding your reflection?

WHEN did you notice a change in your reflection?

WHY did this change take place?

HOW did this happen?

Close your eyes and relax and think of these questions, our REFLECTIONS are not what is only seen by the outside appearance's, but what is inside us that shines out.
How can we be one way with others, like putting on the mask and the full show, to be something different to the outside world?
We are acting and playing a part with the mask on to be what we want them to see. But in reality the reflection will reflect back to you and you will have to be the one to be comfortable with the ripples in your pond.
So how is your reflection? We all have ripples in our reflections, but what are yours doing to others and your life?

Do you treat others better then your family?

Do you give respect to the elderly?

Do you condemn people for how they choose to live?

Do you judge for their lifestyle they choose?

Do you only live for yourself to be happy and no one else?

Do you help someone because you want to or because you'll get something out of it?

So we all need to take some time and really figure out what we want and need and feel about ourselves. How are we going to slow down/stop all those ripples of ignorance ,judgemental, hateful, hurtful, insincere.and not accepting people as a real person.

So when are we taking off the mask?

Are we just being attached to something because it is a habit, or afraid of change?

Are you willing to keep it real?

Are you willing to LOVE with all your heart, mind, soul?

Are you able to be free and comfortable with the decisions you make?

All these things have been on my mind the past few weeks from watching others and myself. Looking closely at things in my life, watching the changes around me, nature, the simplicity of things. I know i do not want to wear a mask! I am the biggest goofball, have lots of DUH moments, lots of things that don't make sense to others, live in my " bubble" world, and most times in my own dreams. I want to be something to someone, i want to be kind, loving, generous, and soul filled with all the happiness i can give.
I love being me :)

BUT.......
Sometimes it is hard to be yourself when you fear the criticism & judgement, when you speak whats on your mind, and wait for the judgement of others to come in....like your walking on eggshells just to be yourself.

SO how are we going to fix our ripples?

xoxoxoxoox till next post :)

Hello :D MOOOOOOOOO

2011-05-22T08:20:00.002-04:00

Hi :D
It has been a long time since i last updated so here is some random thoughts, ideas, things that have been on my brain, yes I said brain ...:)   I really do have one , well most times it is on vacation in a happy land of fun, creativity, happiness, joy, peaceful, simple living :)
Yes it sounds crazy, but let me just tell you it helps!!   Sometimes you need a break from reality and i don't mean go and mess things up and be horrible to people i just mean DREAM, dream of things, find things that make you happy that are pleasant and beautiful. Bring out your inner child and play in the dirt, ride a bike,heck go look for bugs , catch a frog,!!!
You will instantly feel free and want to go barefoot and take a walk in the grass, grab your camera take random pictures of stuff. You do not have to be a professional to enjoy picture taking.
We all know i am no where near a professional , but i so enjoy taking my camera and taking photo shoots of random things, and capturing the conversations i had with a beauty of a cow, YES a conversation, I mooed he mooed, i mooed back, and he mooed back, then it dawned on me "oh crap! there is a parking lot of cars next to me on this random country road?? wait what is it, oh my gosh a small business, wow I know they are laughing at this nut talking to a cow!!"
So not only did i have fun , but i am so sure that the people inside were laughing, so i made someone else's day as well.   :D

Now that you met my friend Mooo, off on another random thing.

I spent the day in Media with family & my little niece (who is 5) we went to go see a show at the theater, Snow White, it was wonderful and not exactly like the story, they had minors instead of dwarfs, and a few other things, but anyhow, my niece Libs & I decided we were gonna be princess's for the day, so I wore a little black dress with a splash of red, my nice black heels & some earrings, put on some makeup , Libs wore her beautiful snow white dress along with her "black heels" i brought her a bracelet and we even had some "magical princess spray"!!,which by the way i think it works because, as we were walking into the theater there is this huge wall to wall mirror, and Libs caught a glimpse of herself and we were holding hands and stopped dead in her tracks and jerked me back and said "aunt Kim look I am a beautiful princess!!" then she moves us closer and we just looked at each other thru the mirror. This is the beauty of a child , not seeing any flaws but only beauty, she looks at me and says" we are princess's" gives me a big huge smile , hugs and kisses, then with out skipping a beat turns back to the mirror and says , " aunt kim , you need to fix this piece of hair , it is sticking up!!!!!!   Let me tell you i was laughing so hard, she is so funny and just such a mini me I love it!!!

Ok so after the show we decide to go eat at the place my oldest son works at, we actually SKIPPED thru the parking lot and into the door , happy no cares of who was looking at us or laughing, i know i must have been looking like i was being the dorky dwarf but it was FUNNNNNN !!! we skipped all day held hands and laughed in our own little world!!
So now here we are in my sons place of work taking random pictures, my son & me and even the princess poses and all and MOST important having fun, (still dressed as princesses).
Then we went to Rose Tree School to the strawberry festival, now my nephew Henry was with us, but Libs and i still in princess dress, skipping in front of bunches of people, dancing to the music that was playing, eating HUGE chocolate covered strawberries, and strawberry shortcake, loaded with whip cream, yummmmmmmmm, getting her face painted with a beautiful purple glittery butterfly, (yes she loves purple too & glitter she is a mini meeee :)) while Henry is over at the fish game and won 3 FISH with   1 ball, and 1 fish previous to that so a total of 4 fishy, he gave me one and named it Marvin,lol. Now I couldn't take home Marvin yesterday cause i though he would boil on the way home, so Henry is babysitting him for me :)
We spent over 2 hours at the fair, i ran into so dear friend, Dawn & met her Brother's wife , and watch my poppop "The Chief" become surrounded with some lovely older ladies while he is sitting on the bench all decked out looking so fine!! We just need to get him a pimp mobile, lol.( that was Timmy's telling from Dawn to me ) To those of you who do not know , my Grandfather Was The Chief at New Providence and retired from there. He is also the man who started out the football team Rose Tree Colts, if it wasn't for him there may not have been a successful football team. To watch him at age 90, walk around and talk to many generations of people, form the older ladies he seems to attract, to the men, the new football players and to encourage all the youngster is amazing at 90yrs old!! he is the Chief & always will be, and that is what everyone knows him by. He gets special treatment WHEREVER he goes because everyone just loves him so!
Ok so for now i think i have caught you up on a bit, and when i find or take new princess pictures i will post
xoxoxoxoooxoxoxo to all and thanks for reading
kimmi

Now the only part that is bothering me is hat i cant find all the wonderful pictures i took with my camera yesterday, I guess they are floating around somewhere in the internal or external chip inside the lovely camera, so my solution to this is , if I cant find them , then i guess i have to have another princess day with the magical spray and Libs and I can do it all over again!!!
YEAAAAA sounds like a good fix to a slight mishap what do you think?? wannna come play and skipp and use some magic princess spray a.k.a. bath n body spray dark kiss,mmmmm   maybe the name has something to do with me feeling like a princess....... but i am so thankful for the magical day i had in the land of a 5yea old :)
Hopefully pictures will be following soon !!!!!
xoxoxoxoox

2011-03-12T07:47:00.000-05:00

Good Morning all my readers *_*
what a beautiful day to SPRING forward, don't forget tonight is the night to set the clocks 1 hour ahead!! I really believe this is the 1st year i have got the right week! I know y'all are saying yeppss that is a Kimmi thing.... I have always been on the wrong week awaiting springs arrival. I love spring & fall, they are my best seasons. The beauty of all the wonderful things popping up, changing, colors and smells are heightened, Just the pure beauty of nature at it's best , in my mind. I am a lil' ole' country girl, with the farm, flowers, garden even down to animals.
When i was growing up it was in a little country town, where there was only 1 other neighbor! The bus stop was actually a few miles away and our mom had to drive us. The spring rain brought lots of mud puddles, mud fights, and pure simple fun. The days of sun were for the garden, feeding the chickens, ducks, bunnies. Eating fresh veggies straight from the plant is a true indulgence. peas, green bean, tomatoes, strawberries, blackberries, and even crab apples, all tasted so good. These are the simple things that stick in your mind.
Back then, things were so different, we were allowed to drive the truck at age 10, mow grass, run a tractor, hay bails, loading up for the animals on my grandparents farm, fishing at the pond across the way, running around barefoot, then having dinner at noon time when you came in to enjoy a pure country spread.
I could go on ALL day about the simple life, But for now this is it :)

I am on my way to a show in Media Pa, sponsored thru Penn State !! should be a wonderful time.
Amber and I are having some coffee, girl time, which makes us all giddy inside!! To go away, mmmm not sure I will know how to act..... heeheee, We are going to be silly, girly, country, and fun lovin' girls who live in their own world of happiness!!!! yeaaaa FUN FUN FUN :)
So Stop on by and visit my booth and get a big ol country hug :)LipSmackinCreations

Hi :)
So, I have lots of exciting things coming up in the next few months!!! yeaaa, and once i get the dates i will post, but for now, all i can say is yea!!!!
On valentine's day, T & J will find out what the baby is going to be!!!!! So exciting :D Then comes the decorating, showers, baby things, so cant wait!! T, has already told me how she would like the baby's room painted and done, so my dear sweet friend, who i put as my "partner in crime" will be doing the room. she is a wonderful artist and painter, decorator, has this flair for the wonderful world of fun, funky, fabric, vibrant colors, but not in a chaotic sense but in a clam sense that brings peace to you, but shares the colorful world. So cant wait :)

So this blog is short & sweet, but on the hunt for some new goodies to share, so stay warm and dry and keep your head lifted high!!!

today i am gonna make a triple dare cake for tomorrows dinner, yippeeesss, and i am going to experiment with goodies for all of the wonderful people who need decaff, and sugar substitutes, hope it turns out on at least the 3rd try !! LOL
So over to the right is a little "auto buy phone looking thing", click on the feed back and see what people are saying about their yummy purchases from LipSmackinCreations :D

Now for the lovely ladies who like me, have a family room that turned magically into the infamous "man cave" , heeheee i came across this shop and his man cave quilt, totally fell in love with it so here it is!

Next is a favorite for those of you who have that precious little girly princess, but who loves to get down and dirty, in the sand, dirt, trucks, running to keep up with the boys, but want to wear that beautiful dress. Which we tend to say, "umm not today honey it will get ruined". Well this shop has the answer for that. The creative, fun, funky, colorful, hold up to ALL activity, wash n wear, grow with you, so definitely budget friendly, but the beautiful princess can be keeping up with a very active child hood :) pop on a pair of legging and a different look is made from dress to a baby doll shirt, many possibilities with one simple piece :)

She is always coming out with some awesome original work, check out the details in these pictures.

She reminds me of Edward scissor hands, she just goes with that creative, but practical, fun funky ideas in her head. She also caters to those nights when it is stressful and we all know how kids sometimes hate bath time , well how about buying them their very own soap and soft wash cloth, they will want a bath now!

and the best part is there are many scents to choose from. I have had the pleasure of testing these and let me say I LOVE them!!

And now to end with bedtime...... so many times children have had a very busy day and are not quite ready to wind down, and it seems like that is when their imagination starts to run wild!! Your at your wits end with ideas to help then realize "there are no monsters in your room" This is a normal part of childhood and why not turn is around with out being frustrated? Well Half Pint has made a MunChTerS! This little critter will snuggle up to your babe and munch and crunch all those scary things away!!

HI everyone, so many have you have been wondering about those weekly

progress reports that show up with a baby? well it is not a game as

some of you thought ,heeheee . It is Tayls and Jimmy are going to have a

baby!!!! yea!!! I am gonna be a granmomma, with the nick name

..."Momma." It seems so fitting being that EVERYONE calls me Momma!!!! we

are excited for them and cant till the due date of July 12th!!!

So many new wonderful adventures awaits this year!! From my children to my business i am soooo looking forward to it. Maybe some day i can retire and have a cozy cabin in the middle of nowhere in the beauty of nature with a warm fire in winter and a comfort breeze in summer, ahhh the simple pleasures of this reminds me of all the times with my mommom & poppop

(Ruth & Blake) Fisher. My whole time with them and the comfort they gave me. Knowing they would keep me safe when i was there, the gentleness, the love that sparked from their eyes. The feel, the touch, the smells, are wonderful memories that nobody can take, they are mine,and full of peace & comfort. From the smell of a garage , to instant coffee, to hay to pumpkin pie.

This is something i will cherish and hold onto forever. I want to be the best grandma, just like my mommom & poppop were to me, they showed me the beauty the world has, the beauty a loving soul has and how to make you feel that!! it has been many years since they passed, but the memories i have, the feelings i have , make it seem like i saw or talked to them moments ago :)

I guess when it comes down to it , "you can't take the country outta a girl"!! they were plain country folks who instilled some country soul in me with their heart to mine. I will do the same with my children & their children and so on!!!

Till next post lots of love xoxoxoxo
